    I have installed a kanguru AES encrypted drive to my computers, all w/ win xp,sp2.
    AVG antispyware 7.5 finds a trojan that is in fact part of the drive encryption software. If I allow the program to quarantine the files, the jump drive won't work. If i restore the quarantined files, the drive begins working.

    Here is a log from AVG;
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    AVG Anti-Spyware - Scan Report

    + Scan result:



    C:\WINDOWS\system32\MsMsSrv.DLL -> Trojan.Zapchast.bd : No action taken.
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\Kanguru_SAP\RunSrv.Exe -> Trojan.Zapchast.bd : No action taken.
    [944] C:\WINDOWS\system32\MsMsSrv.DLL -> Trojan.Zapchast.bd : No action taken.


    ::Report end

    How does one get this checked out and corrected?

    Wait, so was the file malicious or not?

    I'm dealing with the exact same issue and would like to know. Thanks!

    It was a false detection and has been fixed with one of the last Updates for the AVG Anti-Spyware.

    Interesting. My avg antispyware is up to date as of yesterday, but it still detects the kanguru as a trojan. Also, windows defender has the same issue, but adaware and spybot do not.

    I just ran "msmssrv.dll" through VirusTotal and the results were 24/32 (75%)!

    Luckily, I see from the results that Ewido (with the latest signature updates) is no longer improperly flagging this file as malicious. However, for some reason a LOT of other AV and AS vendors are still generating false positives with this file.

    For some reason, this file is matching an incorrect malware signature that all of these vendors are apparently using. I guess they all must have gotten this bad signature from the same source? This false positive might have something to do with the fact that a section of this DLL's code is UPX packed (which is a common malware trait), but it's hard to say.
